pretty face, sharp tongue ⟨ @amsijang ⟩
a lie could be quickly formed if she decided to deny the fact that his presence wasn’t pleasant to have around. those who didn’t give into her antics, who could DENY all her self righteous facade and the spiel that she spat, they deserved some sort of attention. a huff came from lips. ❛ no, i couldn’t care about being judged, their opinions have no effect on me. ❜ if that was the case, then she wouldn’t have done the things that she had when she was younger if she had cared what would happen if they knew who was lurking in such p e r f e c t household. ❛ i’m afraid of— ❜ being alone. it was a prominent feeling that had been known since birth and though it had stuck with her, it didn’t ever seem to ease the constant nagging feeling. she had learned to get along with her loneliness but still didn’t expect to dance with it for eternity. so now as she stood in the present, she didn’t stand alone, this was her gang who were which like family, but even then they DIDN’T KNOW. ❛ —-it’s fucking stupid ❜
reluctance swooped over her, casting a questionable glance in his direction. being harsh, cold and distant were all apart of who she grew to be and it seemed to be that he spoke a similar language as she. they were easy to argue, she failing to see his side when she didn’t want to. they were unable to see how much that they held like indistinguishable attributes between the both of them. a flinch. retracting until she realized what exactly he was doing. the trail of where her hand used to be followed his own, the way he fixed what she had messed up. a thick gulp. awkwardly she blinked multiple times.
❛ how do you expect me to relax? i’m like this when people start bringing up THINGS about me when i don’t want it. ❜ the idea of being touched was nice and wanting, she secretly clung onto the hope that she could reach out and grasp onto a pair of hands. teeth clamped down on her bottom lip, holding it in place until a distinct ‘pop’ echoed. effortlessly she found herself craving to open herself to h i m like a book that wished to be opened and thoroughly looked at —– and MAYBE accepted. ❛ just don’t end up encountering me every day and you won’t have to do this, alright? ❜ tae brought the conversation back around to point a.
"that's considered a good thing after all, shows that you have confident in your being." daniel seen the way people were so engrossed on other's opinions when that shouldn't matter. to live a content, healthy life was to put yourself first and he did that. surely, he's had insults thrown in his face and constantly being compared to his brother was the absolute worst but he learned how to surpass that. somehow, despite differences, he'd like to hear more about her. unusual how they were such an arguing mess and it leads to this, him tolerating someone who can sweep underneath his skin and make his teeth grit in annoyance. "it's not considered stupid, it's being honest. correct?"
last time a touch was laid on another woman, it was his last girlfriend. used to brush his fingers through her soft hair, hold her hand to guide her back home and daniel wasn't comfortable in doing it to another afterwards. scared of accidentally startling another, which in this case, it'd be tae. "try, making an effort is key. besides not every single person you'd make, ends up shutting you down." daniel speaks, unsure of thoughts making sense or a point across. speaking to her, any female at this point becomes such a challenge.
his hand was laid over the top of her head, delicately and somehow it's out of character for daniel to have this particular behavior. "... no, you're fine." he admits after a small pause. trying to scramble words in order to make a proper statement, biting down on his lower lip because it's embarrassing ( can't properly compliment a woman without him looking the other way or not saying enough ) "you're stubborn but i mean -- it's like tolerating another me. except you're smaller and okay to look at -" and this point, he's rambling on about god-knows-what.
"um, anyways." his head inclines to the side, throat clearing and he adds. "you can't push me away that easily. that's all."
